Re: [gentoo-user] emerge output

[Andrew Gaffney]

wget automatically switches to the dot progress indicator when it 
detects that its output is being piped into another process or file.
From 'man wget':

--progress=type
           Select the type of the progress indicator you wish to 
use.  		           Legal indicators are ``dot'' and ``bar''.

           The ``bar'' indicator is used by default.  It draws an ASCII
           progress bar graphics (a.k.a ``thermometer'' display) 

           indicating the status of retrieval.  If the output is not a
           TTY, the ``dot'' bar will be used by default.

FIX: Do a 'locate wget' or 'find / -name wget -print' and move the old
version out of your path and test emerge.  If that fixed the problem
then  delete the old version


The find took a fair while and gave:

/etc/wget
/usr/bin/wget
/usr/portage/net-misc/wget

Emerge is passing the "--progress=dot" option to wget.
FIX: Edit your /etc/make.conf download command so that it doesn't use
the  progress option


How many kinds of progress options are there and what are they called?

Many thanks
